In this class, we will learn multi color Japanese Woodblock printing (Moku Hanga ⽊木版画 ). Image preparation, image transfer, ‘Japanese Kento’ (registration), wood carving and hand printing will be taught. We will focus on practicing correct wood carving and printing techniques, especially use of the Japanese ‘hangito’ and ‘nori'. 8x10” Shina plywood blocks will be used to compose and carve a 6x8” image, and printing will be done using water based color with beautiful Japanese tools and paper (no press is required). Students will create a 1- 3 color print and learn color separation and multi plate proofing. The discussion in class will be supplemented by online conversation through a Slack group, where the teacher will continue to answer questions for maximum progress between sessions. This class is suitable for both beginners and advanced students

This class will be held entirely on Zoom. A zoom link will be emailed to participants a week before class. Students must to have all materials on hand by the start of the session.
